On August 11, 2010, I was lucky enough to snag 30 minutes of my parents’ time to snap a few photos to commemorate 31 years of marriage. (I alluded to this post here.) Internet world, it’s really a miracle that these two people are still married. No, I am not exaggerating. I so vividly remember...

Then Comes Marriage: Kelli & Atlee
You never know how much fun weddings can be until you go… and you never know who you’ll meet. Kelli and Atlee had been at the weddings of mutual friends on more than one occasion without much ado, but for one reason or another their paths were meant to cross again at a certain wedding…...
Beautiful Bride: Kelli
A couple months before the wedding, Kelli & I met for some bridal portrait action at All Saints Chapel downtown Raleigh, the chapel where she and Atlee would pledge “I do.” Being that I am not originally from the South, this tradition seemed foreign to me, but the more I think about it, the more...
Post ‘o’ Thanks ::5::
I skyped with one of my far-flung best friends this week, who is newly married, and we got to catch up on life for a little while. It was only my second time skyping and it’s so fun! As our conversation was wrapping up, her husband (recently home from work) commented on how much they...
Interests: Everything.
Yeah, not lying. That’s what it says in my facebook profile, and that’s because it’s true. I am not saying that everything enthralls me, but just about everything can interest me. At least for a few minutes. (Before I go all Mestas-ADD on myself. Which brings to mind another topic– did you know drinking 2TB...
Then Comes Marriage: Jana & Digit
I guess it was the way he held her hand and she leaned into him. Or maybe it was the way they looked at each other with excited eyes. Or the laugh– the genuine laugh. Their fingers interlaced between sips of Starbucks frozen delicacies….and that’s how we knew: Jana & Digit were head over heels...
Sneakety Peek: Kelli & Atlee!
Beautiful bride, Beautiful day, beautiful wedding! I am so honored to shoot such wonderful weddings and I can’t wait to show the rest!
Mama said there’d be days like this… Post ‘o’ Thanks ::4::
And it’s on these days I need to remind myself of what’s really important. Not that I woke up with hair that looks like I’ve never brushed it in my life. Or that Mr. Whiny McWhinerson even says, “not whining” in a whiny voice. Or that I forgot to make muffins last night and had...
Sneakety Peek: Jana & Digit!
I’m not lying when I say that if every wedding could be as smooth and lovely as this one, I would shoot weddings every month. What a wonderful day this was! So much more to come! Congratulations Jana & Digit! And all the family!
The Summer Blues…
Blueberries, that is. And we’ve sure been enjoying them around here. Randy’s Granny has a lovely blueberry bush and Vaden has loved going to pick blueberries. Or as he says, “boobies.” Yes, it makes for interesting trips to the grocery store. “Mama, yook! Boobies. I want boobies over der.” “Yes, Vaden, those are blueberries. You’re...
